Patent number: 11200333Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for file exposure to an intended recipient. A computer system receives a request to view a file is received first, wherein the file is encrypted with a first key generated based on at least one biological feature of an intended recipient. The computer system causes at least one biological feature of a viewer to be captured, wherein the at least one biological feature of the viewer is corresponding to the at least one biological feature of the intended recipient. The computer system generates a second key based on the at least one biological feature of the viewer. The computer decrypts the file with the second key.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mo Ji, Shan Gao, Cheng Xu, Cheng Fang Wang, Ya Nan Mo

Patent number: 11195355Abstract: Systems and methods for mutual authentication of a user and a container administrator computer system. A container administrator computer system receives a request from a mobile computing device for a user to access a secure container. The request includes a user identifier. The administrator system receives a first authentication factor corresponding to the user. The administrator system authenticates the user by verifying that the first authentication factor matches a first reference authentication factor associated with the user identifier. The administrator system sends a second authentication factor associated with the administrator system to a human-machine interface associated with the secure container or the mobile computing device. The administrator system receives a notification of authentication of the administrator system using the authentication factor. The administrator system transmits an unlock signal to unlock the secure container.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Darren M. Goetz, Chris Kalaboukis, Lisa R. Magana, Andrew L. Martinez, Uma Meyyappan, Dennis E Montenegro, Marla M. Pacis, Timothy R. Ward

Patent number: 11176366Abstract: A camera system comprises an image capturing device, object detection module, object tracking module, and match classifier. The object detection module receives image data and detects objects appearing in one or more of the images. The object tracking module temporally associates instances of detected objects, each of which has a signature representing features of the detected object. The match classifier matches object instances by analyzing data derived from the signatures. The match classifier determines whether the signatures match.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: AVIGILON ANALYTICS CORPORATIONInventors: Mahesh Saptharishi, Dimitri A. Lisin

Patent number: 11176255Abstract: Mechanisms for booting a service processor are provided. With these mechanisms, the service processor executes a secure boot operation of secure boot firmware to boot an operating system kernel of the service processor. The secure boot firmware records first measurements of code executed by the secure boot firmware when performing the boot operation, in one or more registers of a tamper-resistant secure trusted dedicated microprocessor of the service processor. The operating system kernel executing in the service processor enables an integrity management subsystem of the operating system kernel which records second measurements of software executed by the operating system kernel, in the one or more registers of the tamper-resistant secure trusted dedicated microprocessor.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick J. Callaghan, Kenneth A. Goldman, Guerney D. H. Hunt, Elaine R. Palmer, Dimitrios Pendarakis, David R. Safford, Brian D. Valentine, George C. Wilson, Miriam Zohar
